Data Engineering Intern

On-siteFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The posting includes: About Poet (mission, culture). Job Summary & Responsibilities (includes responsibilities). Qualifications & Skills (includes qualifications and skills). Work Environment, Growth & Development Opportunities, Perks. Also mention location (on-site in Sioux Falls, SD). No explicit Pay or Schedule. So we should not create Pay or Schedule sections. Benefits? There's a Perks section: wellness program, fitness centers, gear reimbursements. That could be Benefits. We'll treat as Benefits. Also maybe include About the role? The "About Poet" could be About the role? Actually "About the role" heading is for description of role. We have Job Summary & Responsibilities. Could map that to About the role? But we already have Responsibilities heading. The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include sections that have content. We'll include:
- About the role: maybe combine Job Summary & Responsibilities? But we also have Responsibilities separate. Could do About the role as a brief summary (Job Summary). Then Responsibilities as list.
- Qualifications: maybe combine Qualifications & Skills into Qualifications and Skills sections? Could split: Qualifications (education, basic understanding) and Skills (programming, etc). But we can also just have Qualifications and Skills separate if content supports.
We have: "Currently pursuing an Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Data Science, Engineering, or a related field.Basic understanding of relational databases and SQL.Some programming or scripting experience with languages or tools such as Python, SQL, PowerShell, C#, Java, or similar technologies is preferred.Interest in learning about data engineering, automation, databases, and enterprise technology.Strong problem-solving and critical-thinking skills.Ability to learn new technologies and concepts quickly.Good written and verbal communication skills.Attention to detail and a willingness to ask questions.Ability to work both independently and as part of a team.Working knowledge of Microsoft Office applications and the ability to learn new programs."
Then "A SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATE WILL HAVE A ..." list of traits. That could be Skills or Qualifications. We'll treat as Skills.
Thus sections:

Then "A SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATE WILL HAVE A ..." list of traits. That could be Skills or Qualifications. We'll treat as Skills.
Thus sections:
About the role
Job summary paragraph.
Responsibilities
- ...
Qualifications
Education and basic understanding.
Skills
Programming, problem-solving, communication, etc plus the list of successful candidate traits.
Benefits
- multifaceted wellness program...
- On-site fitness centers or fitness reimbursements
- Safety and cold-weather gear reimbursements
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies we should use those headings, but not strictly limited? It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect us to use those headings only. So we should map content to those headings. Work Environment could go under About the role or maybe under Benefits? Not ideal. Could incorporate into About the role paragraph.
Growth & Development Opportunities could go under About the role as well.
Thus we stick to the allowed headings.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc.
Remove boilerplate: EEO etc. Remove duplicated lines.
We need to preserve all substantive information.
Let's extract substantive content:
About Poet mission and culture: "At POET, it is our mission to be good stewards of the Earth by converting renewable resources to energy and other valuable goods as effectively as humanly possible. For over thirty-five years, our drive and passion to change the world has enabled us to become the largest producer and marketer of bioethanol and a leader in sustainable products in the world.

Then responsibilities list bullet points.
Qualifications & Skills: list as earlier.
A SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATE WILL HAVE A ... list.

Each new team member’s position and compensation are carefully determined by considering their unique qualifications and skillset."
Perks: "A multifaceted wellness program encompassing the whole person – mentally, physically, and spirituallyOn-site fitness centers or fitness reimbursementsSafety and cold-weather gear reimbursements"
We need to format perks as list items.
Now construct HTML.
We'll have:
About the role
About the role
Mission and culture paragraph + Job summary paragraph + Work environment + Growth & Development Opportunities? Might be too long but okay.
But we need to avoid too much mixing; maybe split: About the role includes mission, culture, job summary. Work environment and growth could be part of About the role as well. Alternatively we could have separate sections for Work Environment and Growth & Development Opportunities but not in allowed headings. So we incorporate. Let's craft About the role paragraph: combine mission, culture, job summary, work environment, growth opportunities. But that may be long but acceptable. Responsibilities: list. Qualifications: education and basic understanding. Skills: programming experience, problem-solving, communication, attention to detail, teamwork, Microsoft Office, plus the successful candidate traits list. Benefits: perks list. Make sure not to include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now produce HTML. Check for any duplicated lines: we need to avoid repeating same sentences. Let's write. About the role paragraph: "At POET, it is our mission to be good stewards of the Earth by converting renewable resources to energy and other valuable goods as effectively as humanly possible. For over thirty-five years, our drive and passion to change the world has enabled us to become the largest producer and marketer of bioethanol and a leader in sustainable products in the world.

We need to keep the last bullet as is. Now Qualifications: education and basic understanding. "Currently pursuing an Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Data Science, Engineering, or a related field. Basic understanding of relational databases and SQL."
